Intermediate Java Developer

Build safer, smarter roads with EROAD.
We’re growing and looking for Intermediate Software Engineers who love designing reliable, scalable systems and shipping features that customers trust. You’ll own key components of our industry‑leading SaaS platform, mentor junior engineers, and help drive technical decisions across an agile team—while increasingly adopting AI tools to accelerate high‑quality delivery. 

What you’ll do

• Architect and design new features for our cloud‑native SaaS application, applying modern distributed‑systems practices (e.g., 12‑factor principles) for robustness and scale.

• Research and continuously improve: evaluate AI adoption, refresh toolchains, and recommend cloud‑native approaches that keep us innovative.

• Deliver in agile: break down work, estimate effort and risk, and communicate goals and progress clearly to stakeholders.

• Develop and implement clean, maintainable code; follow standards; leverage version control and automated build/test pipelines.

• Test and deploy for quality at scale using unit, component, integration and performance testing, with attention to reliability and observability.

• Operate what you build: monitor health, optimise performance, and contribute to continuous improvement. Participate in an engineering on‑call rotation with compensation per EROAD policy.

What you’ll bring

Must‑have experience:

• Commercial development in Java and/or C#.

• Designing and building web applications and reusable front‑end components.

• Cloud‑native solutions on AWS and/or Azure.

• Microservices design and end‑to‑end application integration using RESTful APIs and OpenAPI.

• Database design and optimising SQL.

• Automated testing across unit, component, and integration levels.

• Non‑functional design for security, scalability, observability, supportability.

• Git (or similar) and CI/CD pipelines; trunk‑based development.

• Practical use of AI tools/agents to improve developer operations.

Nice‑to‑have:
React/Redux; AWS Kinesis/SQS/DynamoDB; Kubernetes; Terraform; iOS/Android/React Native; Webpack/Babel; Kotlin/KMP; F#/Xamarin; Tomcat/Apache; Linux/Unix; relevant bachelor’s degree.

How you’ll work here

You’ll collaborate closely across teams, engage with stakeholders, and provide technical leadership in planning and delivery. Expect regular peer reviews, shared learning, and a friendly, supportive culture that values curiosity, practical problem‑solving, and engineering excellence.

We’re doubling down on #learn&grow and practical AI adoption across EROAD—your work will sit inside a culture that experiments, learns fast, and scales what works.
